Seminar. Novel. Volkov A.

“Seminar” is a novel-monologist from “First Person”. The Hero-a promising-know-seeker-wonders about the place of the scientist in the modern world, where in his opinion, the main “scrapers” are crumbling, which kept this world from the collapse. The Academic Institute, where the Hero works, gradually slides into “commercial rails”; science in the pen; Life is impoverished; The family breaks up, but the "hero", contrary to all this, continues to engage in its scientific developments. Science remains his only mental rod that no worldly troubles can break. But the “seminar” is not a confession of the “hero”, but rather a rethinking of the view of any compassionate or accusatory intonations that has been lived and experienced under the skeptical-irony angle.

“Life is the same as it is, and no longer” - this tough and sober verdict defines both the position of the “hero” and its life path with faith in “Light at the end of the tunnel”.
